Wow, what a nice place! Didn't the liberals tell us that we were harming and killing the Iraqi people? From the looks of it, it seems that good ol' Saddam was living the high life while his people were starving. And I thought the liberals said he was the saviour of his people! Hmm..i guess they forgot to take a look at his potty when they said that!!! You would think that a leader who cares about his country would spend more money caring for his people, and less money cradling his crap in expensive marble!
